\nWith the recent release of the new iPad operating system (Version 4.2) some important changes occurred in the way the iPad interacts with RMLSweb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As you may recall from my last iPad post<\/a>, RMLSweb<\/em> works best with Internet Explorer 6+. All of the RMLSweb<\/em> system functionality is available and fully supported on IE 6+ (although honestly you should be well past IE 6 by now). Obviously the iPad does not use IE as a browser, and that immediately created some challenges when using the iPad with RMLSweb<\/em>. In fact the challenges were so diverse the decision was made to re-direct the iPad browser (typically Safari) to the RMLS\u2122 mobile site, to ensure the iPad user wouldn\u2019t be tasked with dealing with the challenges. This was not a popular decision with iPad users but was really necessary due to substantial data integrity issues when using RMLSweb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With this OS update, and based on substantial testing by RMLS\u2122 technical staff, we are confident that some of the core RMLSweb<\/em> functionality lacking in the first iPad operating system is now working as it should. That is not to say that the entire RMLSweb<\/em> system works with the iPad, but simply that it is more functional with this operating system update than it was before. As such, it was decided to remove the automatic re-direct to the RMLS\u2122 mobile site and allow the iPad access to logging in to the RMLSweb<\/em> site. There are still inconsistencies in several areas of RMLSweb<\/em>, but most Search functions work as expected and most importantly return an accurate set of search results.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that while we certainly agree that the iPad is a wonderful new tool that fits well in the real estate space and undoubtedly has many other benefits for our Realtor\u00ae subscribers, accessing RMLSweb<\/em> and expecting full functionality is just not yet possible. As we move forward in the evolution of RMLSweb<\/em> you will see more functionality available through the iPad.<\/p>\n

If you have any specific questions about what does and does not work with the iPad and RMLSweb<\/em> please contact the RMLS\u2122 Help Desk. The RMLS\u2122 Help Desk is available 8AM-7PM Mon-Thursday; 8AM-5PM Friday & 10AM-2PM Saturday. Call 503-872-8002 or 877-256-2169 (toll-free). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
